This book explores the development of librarianship from the 17th century to the present day, focusing on the work of John Dury, a 17th-century divine who envisioned the librarian as a missionary of culture. The author argues that Dury's ideas were ahead of his time and anticipated the modern concept of the librarian as an active participant in the community, providing educational and cultural opportunities beyond the mere custodianship of books. This book highlights the evolution of the librarian's role from a passive keeper of books to an active agent in the dissemination of knowledge, shedding light on the ever-increasing importance of libraries in society.
